 FAT BOY

The exceedingly vulgar comedy by John Clancy

April 18 - May 17

 
"It might not cause a riot, but on the off-chance it does, you'll want to be at the 40th Street Stage to witness the uncompromising humor of John Clancy's Fat Boy.
A modern adaptation of Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi, the play graphically and grotesquely follows the story of Fat Boy , his sex-crazed wife Fudgie, and their ascension from the bowels of poor lower-class living to a dictatorship they definitely should not have.

Clancy describes his work as a "War Crimes Tribunal...run by the Marx Brothers. or Shakespearean tragedy, as done by South Park." When Ubu Roi was debuted in 1986, the performance was driven from the stage by a disgusted, angry mob: the audience. Clancy himself will be on hand for the premier performance, starring Brad McMurran of local Pushers Improv Comedy fame (infamy?), at 40th St. Maybe, as is intended, he'll see his play drive Norfolk audiences into hysteria as well."

  4Ever Words:  A Poetry Play

Share the beauty and power of the some of the greatest poetry ever written, in this new production created by The Children's Theatre of Hampton Roads.  But, have no fear:  This production will keep your kids entertained. 

In her special hiding place, a young girl is comforted when Mother Goose comes to life to bring her words of hope and inspiration.  With her good friend, a rather cranky JackintheBox, Mother Goose makes old and new poems come to life ....poems of courage, poems that inspire, poems of love and beauty.  Old favorites and new works; poems that tell stories and some that are just plain silly...they're all here in this energetic and fun show for the whole family to share.
